Easy Air Fryer Seasoned Veggies
A quick and healthy way to prepare flavorful mixed vegetables using your air fryer, perfect as a side or light meal. This recipe uses a robust seasoning blend to create tender-crisp results.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper optional
- 4 cups mixed vegetables chopped (e.g.
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well until a paste forms.
- Add the chopped mixed vegetables to the bowl with the seasoning mixture. Toss until all vegetables are evenly coated.
- Place the seasoned vegetables in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding, which can lead to steaming instead of crisping.
- Air fry for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket vigorously halfway through (around the 7-8 minute mark), until the vegetables are tender-crisp and lightly browned.
- Serve immediately as a healthy side dish or light meal.
Notes
For extra brightness, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice after cooking. Any firm vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, broccoli, or sweet potatoes work well. Adjust spice levels to your preference. Ensure vegetables are not overcrowded in the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary for optimal crispiness.
